Nolan’s The #Odyssey is closer to a remake of #Gladiator than an adaptation of Homer

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reproduces the events of Homer, but replaces Homer’s protagonist with a fundamentally different kind of hero. /1
In psychological and moral terms, Matt Damon’s Odysseus is much closer to Maximus in Gladiator than to Homer’s Odysseus.

The key difference is what war, deceit and collapse of order does to the hero.

/2
Maximus is an honourable, serious and morally robust soldier whose world is destroyed by betrayal and the collapse of his life's meaning: family, duty, Rome and his moral order. The film asks what remains of such a man after the world has violated the principles by which he lived

@ShamashAran Link to original tweet.



While I think I like a lot of what you have to say than what he does (and that's why I'm following you), I really can't support you, when you support the idea of rigging a hearing through the use of dirty tricks.
@ShamashAran Yes, I deleted that and reposted it, just to shake a few trolls. One of whom tried to be "clever" by building his reply around an informal logical fallacy ("begging the question.")
@ShamashAran More or less. He tried to argue that rigging the outcome of a hearing in order to determine whether or not somebody was here illegally was acceptable because the accused were here illegally.

Um, no. That's the issue that the hearing is supposed to resolve.

Sometimes people have candy on their kitchen table, and they eat it when they go past. Or they go on social media a lot. And often, people try to eat less of the candy or go on social media less. They put the candy in a cupboard or install app blockers. 1/🧵
Many of them end up eating less candy or going on social media less. Often for a long time. They might uninstall the app blockers for a bit, use social media more, and then reinstall the blockers. Overall, they eat less candy, scroll less.
I dunno how I feel about these interventions. I mean, I like people choosing to install blockers if they want, just as I like them going on social media if they want.

🧵Sergei Lavrov flew to Manila demanding the U.S. honor a peace treaty from last summer.

Marco Rubio reminded him in public: the treaty was never actually signed. Russian war channels immediately melted down: "We were dumped. Openly and brazenly." 1/🇺🇦🦩⬇️🧵
Lavrov arrived at the summit with two demands: lock in the fake territory split, and stop arming Ukraine.

Rubio rejected both. He declared the Anchorage proposals dead and confirmed the weapons pipeline remains wide open. 2/
But the real nightmare for Moscow was not happening in Manila.

While Lavrov was begging America to cut the supply lines, the Vice President of Raytheon was sitting in Kyiv in a closed door meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 3/
